One of the enduring effects of my psychiatric medication side effects is the weight gain.
Side effects can occur when one starts a new medicine or when there is a dose change in a medicine one is already taking. I had a medicine dose change, an increase, in 2013, shortly after the picture on the left was taken to control a manic episode. In 2013 I gained 52 pounds over the span of a three- or four-month window of time.
In 2015, while manic again, I managed to lose about 25 pounds or so. I wasn't consciously trying to lose weight, I wasn't exercising, but when I'm manic I eat less. I wrote about my weight fluctuations last year. But since then I've gained all the weight back. I think it partly had to do with my birth control.
I used to avoid taking pictures after I initially gained the weight. I was used to being thin my entire life and to all of a sudden put on so much weight... I didn't like the way I looked in clothes. I felt frumpy.
Now, I make an effort to buy clothes that flatter my shape. And it doesn't hurt that my boyfriend likes my current body. It's a great boost to my self-esteem and body image.
I'd still like to lose some of this weight. I don't need to get back down to 128 pounds (I'm currently 169 pounds), but I want to be smaller. I haven't been exercising consistently. To change that, I signed up for a fitness class held at my town's recreation center. The first class is next week. I'm hoping to attend regularly.
Wish me luck!

ReplyDeleteGreat weight loss journey! 😃
DeleteI commend you for all the hard work you put yourself through. I know it ain't easy 🙏
Losing weight can be done with zero exercise minutes per day. Weight loss comes down to energy balance, as long as you’re eating fewer calories than you are burning (you burn calories every second, regardless of what you’re doing), you will lose weight. Exercise is one way to manipulate this energy balance and increase the amount of calories burned.
So yes, it is certainly possible to exercise for 1 minute and lose weight.
1 minute of specific weight loss routines, is equivalent to 45 minutes of moderate exercise at the gym 🏋️
To be honest, I don't know too much more about it other than it working great for me and hubby, click here to take their 1 minute quiz: 1 Minute Weight Loss 👈
I highly suggest your readers check it out if they're looking to lose your weight easily once and for all.
Good luck!

I know what you're going through. I was on depakote, and I gained weight with it. The meds help, but some of them make you gain weight like crazy. I'm currently on Latuda and Abilify, and they're working well for me. No weight gain with these, so I'm able to actually lose weight now. I just want to be healthy and fit, you know? I hope that you enjoy your fitness class, and I hope that you achieve your goals. Thank you for sharing this.

I am here as a sudden stranger who was looking for collecting some helpful composes on the weight gain issue. Though I have already traveled some relevant sites like Houston Apetamin Vitamin Store, I was thirst for leaning more on that. And of course that is why I am here now by googling.

Also I would like to acknowledge that I have got some great ideas trailing to the end of your brilliant contribution.
ReplyDeleteThe effects listed on the product label are there because these are the effects that the product has had on 'some' of the test group. Some of the diet pill testers may be fine taking the product, while others may have adverse effects. leptitox method
